(GunReports.com) — Governor Patrick Quinn’s procedural maneuver this week to enact a gun ban (previously reported here) was defeated by the Illinois House of Representatives as they convened for a veto session, NRA-ILA reports.
In a 78–28 vote, an overwhelming majority of state Representatives overrode Governor Quinn’s amendatory veto to Senate Bill 681. Now, Senate Bill 681 as it was initially written and originally passed by overwhelming majorities in the state Senate and House has been enacted and is in effect, protecting online FOID purchase of ammunition using delivery services which are federally authorized to ship ammunition.
NRA has learned that due to his loss in the state House and Senate, Quinn will continue to shop around for a new semi-auto ban for future introduction in the Illinois General Assembly. NRA-ILA will continue to monitor any activity in Springfield and will keep you informed of developments as they occur.
